Pitch estimation using phase locked loops
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a new method for pitch estimation using a system based on phase-locked-loop devices. Three main blocks define our system. The aim of the first one is to make an harmonic decomposition of the speech signal. This stage is implemented using a band-pass filter bank and phase-lockedloops cascaded to the output of each filter. A second block enhances the harmonic corresponding to the fundamental frequency and attenuates all other harmonics. Finally a third stage re-synthesizes a new signal with high energy at the fundamental frequency and extracts pitch contour from that signal using another phase locked-loop. Performance is evaluated over two databases of laryngograph-labeled speech and compared to various well known pitch estimation algorithms.

Closed-Form Analytical Equations to Transient Analysis of Bang-Bang Phase-Locked Loops
Due to the nonlinear nature of the Bang-Bang phase-locked loops (BBPLLs), its transient analysis is very difficult. In this paper, new equations are proposed for expression of transient behavior of the second order BBPLLs to phase step input. This approach gives new insights into the transient behavior of BBPLLs. Approximating transient response to reasonable specific waveform the loop tran...
متن کاملA pitch extraction system based on phase locked loops and consensus decision
In this work a very low error rate pitch estimation system is presented, which is also very robust against noise. Two key aspects of the system are mainly responsible of such good behavior: on the one hand we use a multiple estimation scheme based on PLL’s. These devices provide us with robust information about the period of the speech signal harmonics. By combining this information with an add...
متن کاملDual Phase Detector Based Delay Locked Loop for High Speed Applications
In this paper a new architecture for delay locked loops will be presented. One of problems in phase-frequency detectors (PFD) is static phase offset or reset path delay. The proposed structure decreases the jitter resulted from PFD by switching two PFDs. In this new architecture, a conventional PFD is used before locking of DLL to decrease the amount of phase difference between input and outpu...
